[JakeyB789]

Can’t wait to give it to T-Baz and his wooden spoon side. Hopefully another big boost to our for and against and a Parra/Roosters loss so we make up some more ground on the top 4

 

[pt73]

I heard that Barrett said in his post match interview that the final score wasn't a true indicator of how they played.

That's just too funny and quite pathetic too as the only thing that counts IS the score, it's just as bad as "we won the second half".

He's obviously getting very desperate.

 

[Waz13]

Tge worst thing we could do is underestimate this dogs side. Parra got another big leg up by the refs yesterday to help them over the dogs. Imo dogs could put away a few of the lower teams at the moment and are improving, in saying that if we focus and play well we should beat them 13+.

 

[Supreme Leader]

When was the last time a Manly team won by 50+ in 3 of 4 games and about to be 4 out of 5?

Who is the statistician?

Saturday 3rd July 2021 the Sea eagles will desex the Bulldogs and their coach without anesthesia in front of all their fans

Is anesthesia injured?

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Braith Anesthesia?

 

[AlxFromNthNarra]

Dogs were hard done by against the Eels. Manly won't get that fave treatment from refs - we need to show up, Dogs have a bit more heart than the Titans right now, but nowhere near the talent.

If this game is even close, it will be disappointing and likely manufactured by the worst reffing performance ever.

If we win by 30 and Roosters lose to Storm by 30, we are in 5th. This could easily happen.

 

[globaleagle]

Braith Anesthesia?

lol

speaks like he's had some.

When we played the cowboys and some big guy tackled some little squirt, Braith said "look at this...small guy on little guy"

everyone was too polite to mention it

until now.

 

[Jerry1]

Would be good to beat them by 50 plus as the roosters have got the storm. Hopefully the storm will put 50 on them. We could sneak into 5th...

 

[stoodamire]

Barring any nasty surprises.

Closet thing to full strength except for aloiai and fainu.

however Des might rest Turbo again.

I bet that might definitely be on the cards resting Turbo especially with the confidence building in Garrick and Walker going along nicely

See your point but why would he rest Turbo, he has a 6 day turn around almost a normal week recovery.
Turbo has to run like gump every week to meet his specialist hammy protocols so I'd say he plays and rest after game 3.

I want him to play every game. Though Des might have other ideas. Bring it on I reckon!

 

[Spartan Eagle]

The dogs were only in it because parra made so many errors in the first half. In saying that the dogs have improved. I'd expect that there will be a lot of extra motivation from both sides to win given the history between the coaches and their former clubs. I'll be going just to witness zoolander's baffled face..

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Provided we don't play like we did against Newcastle we should prevail. Not a lot of points in the dogs.

 

[Damien2812]

I'm hoping Turbo plays since the game is 6 days after origin. If Turbo does play and Schuster comes back it could be another 50.. 👍

 

[weev]

Barrett - we gave him first job opportunity and then he repaid us by quitting mid season.
His sacking cannot come soon enough. Even half time would be good. Make some good entertainment.

Yep fly turbo and the home together on Monday early morning following origin and give them the rest of the week off.

We play Saturday and it's the dogs in Sydney they both should back up.
